======================================================= MahAnArAyaNOpanishat - manthra-5 =======================================================: atha: param nAnyadaNIyasagm hi parAth param yanmahathO mahAntham yadEkamavyakthamanantharUpam vishvam purANam thamasa: parasthAth Translation: There is no other entity, which is subtler than this. It is higher than the high. It is vaster than the vast. It is the One. It is the unmanifest. It is of infinite forms. It is the universe. It is the most ancient. It is beyond 'thamas' or 'prakrthi'. Notes: It is higher than the high. The 'jiva' is higher than the non-sentient matter and 'paramAthman' is higher than that 'jiva'. He is the ordainer of both the orders of the 'chith' and the 'achith'. It is greater than the great and it is subtler than the subtle as it is pervading every other thing and as it is capable of entering into the subtle atom. There is nothing neither vaster than this nor subtler than this. At the time of delusion it alone resides withdrawing everything other than itself, into itself and so it is designated as the 'one'. It is called 'avyaktha' as it has the unmanifested as its body. It is having infinite forms, as it is the self of infinite forms of the variety and multiplicity of this universe. It is therefore 'vishvarUpa' or having the universe as its body. It is without any beginning and so is the most primeval. It is in its non-material abode called 'paramapada', which is beyond darkness or 'prakrthi' and beyond sense perception. Though He is residing as the inner self of the manifold universe of multiplicity, He remains one and undivided. ======================================================= Sri Ranganatha Divyamani Padukabhyam Namaha dasan, Balaji
